Abstract

South Sumatra has a vast swamp area, now along with the development of the population the land needs an increase, so that much swamp land is converted into housing, offices, business centres, and others. One of the housing complexes that used to be a swamp is the OPI housing in Jakabaring. Amid the Jakabaring OPI housing there is a swamp that becomes a lake by the developer. This lake is quite extensive, and interesting because the environment is still beautiful and there is no construction of tall buildings except housing. The lake looks beautiful yet untouched to become an ecotourism area, so the lake has great potential to become a tourist land for the community. This study aims to find out how people utilize this tourism potential from socio-cultural and economic aspects which ultimately leads to the use of being an ecotourism area. Research uses two methods namely quantitative and qualitative descriptive. The research respondents were 40 people from the surrounding community. The research findings obtained that the community exploits the lake's potential in the aspects of social, economic, and ecotourism. The utilization that is often carried out is on the socio-cultural aspects, in the economic aspect the categories are quite utilizing, on the other hand the utilization of ecotourism aspects is still weak. For this reason, it is recommended that the regional government provide support so that the lake is maximally utilized by the community as an ecotourism area. Which ultimately prosper the community
